Council Ttavd 2000 Guadalupe St. • Austin, IX 78705 GOMA, Zaire (AP) — French engineers bulldozed the dead into mass graves Monday as U.S. Air Force planes dropped more aid and equipment to Rwandan refugees. Yet the U.N. High Commis sioner for Refugees, on her first visit to two camps crowded with more than a million people, pre dicted “things are bad but they’re going to get better.” Sadako Ogata she saw Red Cross and Doctors With Borders volunteers saving the lives of cholera sufferers with quick infu sions of water and minerals. She saw U.S. Army bulldozers shov ing aside volcanic rock to create roads for water tankers and French army engineers bulldoz ing the dead into mass graves. Ogata said the monumental efforts impressed her but “will have to continue. This is just the first round.” She said doctors warned her that “cholera, which we were most worried about, is going to go down. But dysentery is going up. And for everything you need water.” The U.N. Children’s Fund on Monday estimated 50,000 people have died in the camps in the last two weeks, twice as many as the UNHCR figure of 20,000. Elizabeth Dole, president of the American Red Cross, visited refugee camps and an orphanage caring for about 4,000 children. The U.S. branch has donated $18 million toward an International Red Cross appeal for $100 mil lion of Rwandan aid. Clearly upset by what she had seen at Kibumba camp about 20 miles north of Coma, Mrs. Dole said: “When you see more than 300,000 people with not enough water or any quick way to get it in ... you don’t know what to say.” U.S. Army and Air Force ef forts to increase the flow of cholera-free water to Kibumba gained momentum Monday. One transport brought in the first of three U.S. water tankers able to carry 3,000 gallons each, while nine tankers donated from Fin land were expected on a U.S. flight Tuesday. Army engineers bulldozed two paths through Kibumba, where traffic has slowed to a crawl by so many people. They hope the paths will make it easier for U.N. trucks carrying water from an American water-purification site in Coma to get to the camp, dump their loads and return for more.

PCA concerned with the escalation of salaries and how they’ll sur vive,” he said, “especially the ones in the smaller markets who don’t get the big revenue from ticket sales and television contracts. “The salary cap will allow them to put the brakes on and make them viable in business.” Reynolds said both sides want to increase salaries, but the owners want to keep cer tain limits on its expansion. “They’re really not that far apart,” he said. Blake said salaries are rising too fast because of free agency, which the players want to ex pand even more. “Part of their (owners) problem is liberal free agency,” he said. “The players want arbitration ex panded to two-year players.” Reynolds said he and the co author of the study found that the lack of arbitration rights for younger players hurts them. “We think major players (with three or more years’ expe rience) are paid according to their market value,” he said. “But rookies are often under paid and have little rights to arbitrate.” Johnson said he has talked to several players who agree. The current troubles are in dicative of players and owners not being willing to work to gether, he said. “The owners and Players As- OP sociation don’t seem to resfi together until somebody 1 money,” he said. “They’re on T.V. and making pull stands, which hurts the proo Eventually, everybody’s goji have to give some.” Reynolds said both sides heading for a showdown cause they are so set inti positions. “The owner’s argume: don’t make sense,” Hess “On the other hand, the: plenty of money around everybody.” Blake said positive steps being made in the effort to solve the situation. “Now that there’s a tatf date, both sides can get er and avoid a strike,” he sf -i “It’s been a good season for' I Rangers.
